Stunden
is the unique and unprecedented new record of instrumental music by electronic pioneer
Hans-Joachim Roedelius
(
Cluster
,
Harmonia
) and
Stefan Schneider
(
To Rococo Rot
,
Kreidler
,
Mapstation
). In twelve miniatures, with titles such as "Liebe", "Das Eine" and "Country,"
Stunden
unfolds images that come across with a poetic, glorifying tranquility. Despite the use of synthesizers and amplifiers, these songs are closer to the texts of
Adalbert Stifter
than to the machine music of
Kraftwerk
. By all accounts, Roedelius' work with the likes
Dieter Moebius
and
Michael Rother
(in Cluster and Harmonia) as well as
Brian Eno
(on 1977's
Cluster & Eno
and 1978's
After The Heat
) are considered blueprints for today's electronica. He began releasing solo albums in 1978 and on his second album, 1979's
Jardin au Fou
, was already exploring the interplay between piano and electronics, a synthesis which is also the core of
Stunden
. Roedelius and Schneider first decided to work together at a Cluster concert in Berlin in 2007 and the idea for the album came after their first joint appearance in the Berger Kirche, a 17th Century church in Düsseldorf. The music was intended to match the location of the concert: Sounds for a vestry, to which Roedelius spoke his own texts.
Stunden
was created in the early months of 2010. While the initial reference for the collaboration was their concert experience, the concept gradually opened up and the lyrics fell away, until there was only one proviso: The music should be quiet -- otherwise anything goes.
Stunden
is a bold and inspired record, with a focus on Roedelius' piano playing while Schneider lays synthesizer sounds around it. Other pieces feature guitar, zither, digital and analog synths. Together, the pieces create an impression of pleasant vagueness. This is music for the room which opens upwards.
